Recent comments from Matt Reeves, director of The Batman 2, suggest that Robin won’t be in the upcoming film. Arthur Mintz, director of a Dynamic Duo documentary, revealed that Reeves had long been interested in telling a Robin story, but believed animation was the best approach. This idea gained momentum when a script pitch from a writer who worked on Disney and Pixar’s Coco was well-received by the team.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Colin Farrell will play Father Roy Craig, a priest who gives last rites to a mob boss. Surprisingly, the boss survives and confesses his crimes to the priest. This quickly puts Father Roy in danger, as hitmen, corrupt police, and other gangsters are sent after him by the mob boss, who wants to keep his secrets hidden. However, Father Roy has a hidden, violent past that makes him more formidable than anyone realizes – though he still adheres to the commandment against killing. The script for the film, titled Ordained, will be written by Derek Kolstad, known for his work on John Wick.

Besides the main Marvel Cinematic Universe, Sony also created a universe based on Spider-Man characters. While 2018’s Venom was successful, the franchise didn’t really grow as Sony intended. Now, Sony has stopped planning new movies featuring these Spider-Man-related characters. However, one Sony Marvel show did find an audience on streaming, but it’s soon leaving Netflix.
The director of the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine movie said the final episode of Stranger Things Season 5 was incredibly emotionally impactful and left him deeply affected.
I was reading an interview with Dave Bautista over at MovieWeb, and he was talking about his new movie, Trap House. Joe Deckelmeier asked him what he thought of the younger actors – Jack Champion, Sophia Lillis, and Blu del Barrio – and if they impressed him. Bautista initially said ‘Nothing,’ which threw me for a second! But he quickly explained that wasn’t him playing a character. He already knew they were fantastic, and it all came down to really smart casting choices. He said they were very careful about who they picked for the film, and honestly, it shows. He even hinted that Trap House could be the beginning of a huge action franchise, which is exciting to hear!
This is a huge change from the bright, driven girl who, when she started at Chilton, dreamed of becoming a war correspondent like Christiane Amanpour. While we didn’t anticipate a flawless life for Rory in A Year in the Life, we certainly didn’t want to see her end up pregnant and on her own. It’s disappointing because the show had already set up a believable situation where Rory could have struggled and learned, but it didn’t quite work out that way.
The latest episode of South Park, titled “Sora Not Sorry,” featured the show’s signature blend of political satire and the supernatural, including characters like Trump, JD Vance, Satan, and a demon baby – all presented as commonplace occurrences within the White House. Alongside a storyline about a widespread deepfake problem in South Park, the episode depicted an animated president grappling with the unexpected arrival of Satan’s child.
I was pleasantly surprised by Predator: Badlands, one of the most exciting upcoming movies for 2025. I already enjoyed the previous work of its writer/director, Dan Trachtenberg (Prey and Killer of Killers), so I wasn’t sure if he could deliver another hit. While everyone is talking about how well Badlands develops the Predator story, I’m particularly interested in its connection to the Alien franchise.
